PC, I am getting unwanted spacing between the top green menu and the
flash file below which I can't come up with a fix for.

UA's have different defaults for some elements.
  ul#navlist {margin-bottom:0;}

also, the top menu (HOME, CONTACT US , PAYMENT CALCULATOR) should be
displaying without the underline and underlining only on hover. I
think I have this set up right in the CSS, so I am not sure what is
going on there.

#topnav li a:link { display: inline; list-style-type: none; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; }
  #topnav li a:visited { color: rgb(102, 102, 102); }
  #topnav li a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }

It's a human bug (http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/pseudocss.html#linkhuman)

Once the link is visited, you get the default underline. Rewrite the first rule to

#topnav li a { display: inline; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; }

lastly, I have tried unsuccussfully to move the menu down some leaving
space between the top menu and the green main nav. I added margin and
padding to the header div, but this does nothing.

Give the header a
div#header {... border:1px solid fuchsia; }

to see that the header does no contain the floats, so your margin efforts did not have much effect.

have a read here:
http://www.complexspiral.com/publications/containing-floats/

div#header {margin: 0 0 1em 0; float:left; }
div#mainnav { ... float: left;}

(this prevents the effect that both the nav container collapse and a following relatively positioned container overflows the menu, making the links inaccessible.)
